Anomie: Term coined by Emile Durkheim refers to a breakdown of social norms. A condition where norms no longer control the activities of members in society. Individuals cannot find their place in society without clear rules to help guide them. Changing conditions lead to dissatisfaction, conflict, and deviance. He observed that social periods of disruption (economic depression, for instance) brought about greater anomie and higher rates of crime, suicide, and deviance.

Durkheim felt that sudden change caused a state of anomie. The system breaks down, either during a great prosperity or a great depression, anomie is the same result.

Oh excellent. I love the way your editing and song choice present all the characters as compromised. They might all be victims, they might all be evildoers. It's a beautiful and complex retelling.

The show has such a sense of menace at times, murderers might be hiding in every shadow. I really enjoyed utilising that.

Thanks for commenting.
